I think the subject says it all!

I get 100-110 Mbps on download but 300Mbps for uploads. I really can't understand what would cause a 3x difference. I have a new dell laptop, i7 / 16gb ram. I did the following: (1) bought a new Cat7 LAN cable (as i realised Cat5 only allows up till 100Mbps); (2) Updated the drivers of my Intel Network hardware (3) set the battery performance to highest performance (4) Tried over both 5Ghz WiFi and Cat7 wire LAN

Nothing seems to help as much. It did increase the download from about 80 to 110 Mbps at best, but thats it. On the same internet connection, I get nearly 270-280 Mbps on my phone over WiFi.


Please help!
